Hello lovelies,
and welcome to another Roses of Inspiration linkup.
I am so grateful to have you here and
I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to.

Before we get to the partyI would like to announce the winner of my Birthday Giveaway.
I truly appreciate all of you that put your name in for the drawing
and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the birthday memories that were shared.

The blessed winner is. . .Debby Ray
from My Favorite Things
A favorite birthday memory of hers. . .I guess my most memorable birthday surprise would be when my youngest son was in college about 500 miles from home decided to surprise me. He secretly made the trip home but parked his car away from the house. That evening, the doorbell rang and when I looked out, all I saw was a large black garbage bag. I very gingerly slipped out the door to see what was in the bag and guess who jumped out at me???!! He almost scared the daylights out of me to say the least but it was a birthday surpise I will never forget!

And one more thing. . .
I am leaving this morning for a little getaway with my family
and won't be back until the end of the week.
Please know I will be around to visit you when I return :)
I am looking forward to a few days of sunshine and relaxation.

Let's begin with a few features from last week.
One again I was greatly inspired by the posts

I want to express my gratitude to each one of you for taking the time
to visit the women that participated in the Tea Cup and Mug Exchange.
The exchange was another rewarding experience and it's all thanks to those that participated.
I am so grateful to those that joined the fun AND to those that cheered from the sidelines-
your comments, kindness, and support were a blessing.

. . . . . .The Home. . . . . .

“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” -Jani Ortlund
